Heavenly Salt Pt. 1

Jesus corrects his disciples for trying to stop someone outside their group from ministering in Jesus' name. Jesus teaches that God's kingdom is bigger than the disciples realize - it includes all who follow him in faith, even if they are not part of the inner circle. In this sermon, we discuss signs of true faith and being born again, such as professing faith in Christ, bearing spiritual fruit like love and obedience, and gathering regularly with other believers. To illustrate that God's family includes diverse people from every nation and culture, we can listen to these stories of worshipping with Burmese, Iraqi, and Russian believers. We’re encouraged to pray for and loving the whole global church in unity, not just those who look and worship like us, as we fulfill Jesus' mission.
